I'm new to the whole web development, mind helping a newcomer?

Hi, I've just set up a free hosting account with siteburg.com. It's pretty nice and everything, however, I can't seem to find out how to do quite a few things. I'll just list, and if you respond (I hope you'll respond!!) you can just write corresponding to the numbers. Oh, and so you can see what I mean about everything, my site is located at:
http://computerhelp.siteburg.com/

and what I've got done so far is located at:
http://computerhelp.siteburg.com/phpBB2/index.php

1) How do I set my "index.html" to load the forums automatically?
2) How do I replace "yourdomain.com :: Index" with "computerhelp.siteburg.com :: Index"?
3) This is kinda.. not on topic, but the last question has to do with free scripts. Does anyone know where I can get a nice script for the main page (so I don't have to have the forums as index.html)? My old friend told me a while back, that there's a free one on sourceforge.net. However, I've been searching for about 2 hours, and I can't seem to come accross it. If any of you know any good ones that I'd be able to use, I'd surely appreciate a link or somethin'.

That's it, I hope you reply, and thanks to all of you who do in advance.

Replace the index.html with index.php (the phpbb forum). in doing so, you may have to modify the paths accordingly so that it points to the root directory -- computerhelp.siteburg.com/index.php

To change the forum title "yourdomain.com", edit the index.php file... Phpbb should have instructions on how to accomplish this and other changes.

Thanks, I'll look into this now.

An easy way to make http://computerhelp.siteburg.com/ redirect to http://computerhelp.siteburg.com/phpBB2/index.php is to add this <meta> tag into the <head> of index.html

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=phpBB2/index.php">

The page title should be in the administration area of your site, logon as admin and edit server (forum) settings.

If not then you can hard code it onto the config.php file.
